  • Question
  • As water is cooled from 4 deg C to 0 deg C, its density


  • Options
  • A. decreases
  • B. increases
  • C. remains same
  • D. zero

  • Correct Answer
  • decreases 

    Explanation

    When water is cooled from 4°C to 0°C, its density decreases.

     

    When water cools from 4°C to 0°C, ice crystals begin to form because the water is approaching its freezing point. When water freezes, the water molecules form a lattice that increases the volume. As a result, the density decreases. This is why ice will float on top of water; ice has a lower density than the water.
